First sentence: IT is right, first, to explain that in this dissertation we shall make constant use of two or three words borrowed from foreign languages; one is botega or bottega, implying something between a workshop and an artist's studio, which it would be difficult to express by a single English word: another is fabrique, meaning the private establishment of a master potter of that day, the idea of which cannot be so well conveyed by factory, pottery, or studio (itself an imported word), all of which are therein combined and modified.
